Well, the rain ain't fussy about where it lands,
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand. It's gonna rain brother, and it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. It ain't too funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your love sick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Watch out brother, be alert, But whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt, show that hurt. I've been subjected, I've been so distressed, Come back baby, to clean up this mess, Clean up this mess. It ain't so funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Yeah, the rain ain't fussy about where it falls, It rains on one like it rains on all. But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. Watch out brother, be alert, Whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt. |

What in the world,
What in the world am I gonna do? What in the world, What in the world am I gonna do? My best girl packed up to leave me, She knew I did not want her to. Yeah.... See me early in the morning, Crying last thing at night. See me crying early in the morning, Moaning last thing at night. My woman packed up and leave me, I can't do a thing right. Where in the world, Where in the world am I suppose to go? Where in the world, Where in the world am I suppose to go? I'll find someplace, I'll be sure to let you know. Yeah....

Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Born on the green light, a mission to move Something to prove, an itch in my shoes I heard then wail of a train From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back Well the engineer threw the switch And it got to my brain, I've never been the same You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again Born a spoke of the wheel Not a part of the set and I'm running yet I ran before I could walk The price of the fare was hardly ever there Saw an eight wheeler move And I couldn't choose I just had to cruise You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Well I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again |

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a thorn in your side.
Tell me what you gave me baby, and I will give you back. The troubles you gave me, gonna wrap em' up in a box, Tie em' up with string, send em' back to you, They no longer mean a thing to me. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Baby I no longer wanna be, just a cushion for your pride. Here's my fastback baby, this man's got a ride away. Before you make me change my mind, I'll be gone before you notice, that I'm not around. You'll look everywhere baby, but I just won't be found. Better get used to bein' my used to be. I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would change your mind. Owww... I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would suddenly change your mind. Owww... Baby I remember a time when you, really used to try. But now-a-days baby, you can't even look me in the eye. Your love is drifting with the tide. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. |

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there, When that drummer hits the rim shot, It almost busts the snare. You put on your cat clothes, And I will put on mine, Together pretty babe, We're gonna cruise on down the line. Come on and cruise on out with me, Won't you cruise on out with me. Well that cat I will be paying, C'mon and get your share, I've got transportation, And I can get you there. Well I know your daddy's anxious, That you told a lie, I guess he's goin' to blow his stack, If you don't come home on time. Come on and cruise on out with me, Won't you cruise on out with me. Yeah... Well this feelin' I will pick it, Just as long as you will stay, The boys in the band will play all night, If they would have their way. If you want to dress up to the night, And look like something else, I'm goin' to put on my alligator shoes, I'll go out to play.. Come on cruise on out with me, Won't you cruise on out with me. Well, the fat man plays that upright, Freeze you at the knees, This band's in full control, of 37 and one half keys. In this full scale commotion, The place will never drop, You better leave town gracefully, If you're too pooped to pop. You better leave town gracefully, If you're too stuped to stop. Come on cruise on out with me, Well, won't you cruise on out with me. Well that cat you will be payin', You ought to make you there, When that drummer hits the rim shot, It almost busts the snare. You put on your cat clothes, And I will put on mine, Together pretty babe, We're gonna step on down the line. Won't you cruise on out with me, Come on, cruise on out with me. Won't you cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out with me. Won't you cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out with me. Come on cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out with me. Awwwhhhh... |

Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack
Spreading its wings on homeward track Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for Come on baby lets jump aboard It's a mean piece of transport baby You know that's no joke On board the aging gamble smiles as he peels The seal off a new deck, then he quietly deals Hands round the table from the bottom he slips three Watch yourself if you play this game the fastest card game on wheels Come on, won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear them talkin' about it together we could race the breeze It shines out a light, in the darkest night To make us feel alright To make us feel alright I've prayed every night That you will wanna go there too Come on darlin', let's go Night is over as the dawn begins to crack Sounds like a hen hatching in a chicken shack Late last night I think I heard a lonely cry Heard the blind owl howling in a moonless sky Come on Won't you be there when it leaves Can't ya hear me talkin' Together we could race the breeze Old engine driver never stepped on the ground Got no degree in geography but he's been around Knows all the back lines, eyes can hardly see Don't tell this man to slow down 'Cause he don't know what you mean Come on Won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear me talkin baby Together we can race the breeze It shines out a light, in the darkest night To make us feel alright To make us feel alright I've prayed every night That you will wanna go there too Alright Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack Spreading its wheels on homeward track Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for Won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze |

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg Or a poor man much to proud to beg Or a page from a book that can't be read at all Well you can see by the way that they are talking That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking 'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and don't turn around and wave goodbye at all They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living But you know one thing they don't, You won't give in 'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles But you're gonna fail Sometimes you just don't understand |

You've done me wrong,
For the last time, You've sung your song, Now I'm going to sing mine, Out loud, so loud, Like the roaring sea. You've played around, For the last time, You've shown your claws, Now I'm going to show mine, Watch out, I'll be about, In the night. You ran around, Since the very first day, You've had your moment, Now I'm gonna have my play, So long, I'll be gone, In the night. You put me down, For the very last time, I hit the floor, But I got up on the count of nine, Goodbye, don't cry, When I'm gone. |

Were you raised by the river
Down by the low, low land Where the air is dark and sinister? In the nigh there's no safe place to stand Hid in the reeds are eyes that peek, voices I can't understand Flamingos flying endlessly To the silent sky Daughter of the Everglades You never made it clear Daughter of the Everglades If you want to be here Child of the river I never saw your tears Well, you looked like your mama Before you walked, you swam Learned to makes snake tails stew From your daddy, a crazy talkin' fisherman In this place there is no law; the river makes all the rules What they are I found out When I came back to look for you Daughter of the Everglades Why did you bring me here? Daughter of the Everglades My love has turned to fear Child of the river Let me feel you near Well, you laughed in them But I knew after a year That you'd cry in the city I should have not brought you here So far from the Bayou, down in the low, low land Don't know why you left me But now I understand Take me back to the river Down in the smoky ground Where snakes crawl you don't cheat By the river you live by now In the swell of the river, the river sails so proud I should have gone there with you But now they tell me you have drowned Daughter of the Everglades I can feel you near Daughter of the Everglades I know I'll find you hear Child of the river I can't see for tears Daughter of the Everglades I want to feel you near Daughter of the Everglades I must find you here Child of the river I can't see for my tears |

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you They made sure they threw away the mould It comes as no surprise to me That I wanna be in your vicinity If I stand close to you, I'm not sure if I'm really there With my feet on the ground but my head's lost in the air Oh, how I wish you could see That I'd love to be in your vicinity Where would I go, what would I do If you should run from me? How does it show when you're to lose Will you explain to me? There's something growing There's something showing There's something won't let me be Where would I go, what would I do If you should run from me? How does it show when you're to lose Will you explain to me? There's something growing There's something showing There's something won't let me be They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure And when they made you They made sure they threw away the mould Oh, how I wish you could be I wanna be in your vicinity Well, I've heard that one day Everything comes to him who waits Well, that may be so, but you know it might be too late Oh, how I'd love to see That I wanna be in your vicinity ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RORY GALLAGHER <i>Lyrics © BUGHOUSE MUSIC OBO STRANGE MUSIC LTD</i> |

When my baby she left me,
Left me with a mule to ride, When my baby she left me, Left me with a mule to ride, When that train left the station, That old mule laid down and died. Just give my baby, A brand new twenty dollar bill, I done give my baby. A brand new twenty dollar bill, If that don't get her back, I swear this old shotgun will. Standing down by the landing, Big old board on the door, Standing down by the landing, Big old board on the door, When I say goodbye, Won't see that girl no more. Look out baby, Gonna spread the news, Look out baby, Got to spread the news, Treat me so bad, I'm buried with these blues. When my baby she left me, Left me with a mule to ride, When my baby she left me, Left me with a mule to ride, When that train left the station, That old mule laid down and died. Yeah............ |

Well, if your baby start acting funny,
She start messin' around. You better let her go, I know she's gonna, put you down. Just let her go. Just as quick as you can. Cause that little hoodoo woman, Is fixin' to hoodoo the hoodoo man. My baby got me doctor one note, That's something I can't understand. How could she take all my money, And give it to a, her other man? I'm gonna let her go, Just as quick as I can, That little hoodoo woman, I know she's fixin' to hoodoo the hoodoo man. Call up my little baby, Long distance on the telephone. But the voice on the other end, Is a low down mellow tone. I'm gonna let her go. As quick as I can. Cause that little hoodoo woman, I know she's gonna hoodoo the hoodoo man. Come on and see some hoodoo, Hoodoo man. Called up my doctor, To ask for his advice. But, you know he's out all night with my baby, They painted up the town once or twice. Gonna let her go. Just as quick as I can. I know that little hoodoo woman, Is planning to hoodoo the hoodoo man. She's got the hoodoo, She's got the hoodoo, Hoodoo, Hoodoo. Come on, Oh little hoodoo woman, I bet she's gonna hoodoo the hoo......, I know she's gonna hoo.........doo the hoodoo man. I know she's gonna hoodoo the hoodoo man. |
